TI - Municipal Legal Books in Medieval Slovakia and Hungary as an Example of their Own Self-confidence in the Context of European Legal Culture
AB - Municipal books from medieval Hungarian contain valuable information on municipal legal (judicial) and administrative agendas. They represent a rich source of undervalued information on Slovak history and historical law. Although Slovak historiography has already been dealing with municipal books for quite some time, it was mainly in the recent period that the history of municipalities and of the municipal books gained new impetus, particularly in the Historical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, in research institutes of Slovak universities, and at the Slovak Historical Society. Future possibilities for scholarly research are far from exhausted. This contribution offers an overview of the state of knowledge on medieval municipal books from the territory of Slovakia, in light of a future research potential in this area.
